BenchUp 0.7.2 — Pocket joinery, cutting previews, and tools for AI agents

2026-11-14

Woodworking and cutting plans

Create biscuit, Domino, groove, and loose-tongue joints with adjustable dimensions, live previews, and machining time estimates. Separate loose inserts are not generated.
Preview cutting tables, sheet layouts, grain, joinery, oversized parts, and sheet costs before exporting a Cutting Plan PDF.
Choose a sheet layout strategy and edge trim margin, with improved packing to reduce the number of sheets.
Work more smoothly with dense joinery and wood grain thanks to cached geometry and GPU-rendered grain patterns.
Remove joints when their boards are deleted and preserve joint assignments when working with linked components.

Enter precise dimensions in floating inputs near the modeling operation. Press Space to cancel an empty precision input.
Create an offset guide parallel to an edge by starting Tape Measure on that edge; guides started from points follow the tape direction.
Automatically reload desktop projects changed on disk while keeping the camera. Projects with unsaved edits ask whether to keep them or reload.
Open .bup projects that launch BenchUp on macOS, including files opened from Finder.

Choose Italian, Latin American Spanish, or Vietnamese as the application language.
Use improved Simplified Chinese translations and broader font coverage for Vietnamese text and estimate PDFs.

Read and edit .bup projects with the new benchup command line and MCP server, including atomic saves, undo and redo, and batches that apply as one history step.
Create boards and curved outlines, edit faces, add joints and router profiles, apply finishes, and inspect cut lists and time estimates through the agent tools.
Render standard model views to PNG without opening the app, check models for geometry and joinery problems, and follow the included agent guide.
Use more reliable face splitting, locked-face merge checks, and time estimates limited to selected parts or groups.
